PRP & GFC Hair Treatment in Kannur

Both PRP and GFC use your own blood, so both are autologous and natural. In PRP (platelet-rich plasma), a sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and that platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp. GFC (growth factor concentrate) is a newer, more refined step further: from the same blood sample, a standardised preparation is made that delivers a higher and more consistent concentration of the pure growth factors that stimulate follicles. At Dr. Thaj Clinic in Kannur, the dermatologist will explain which option suits your degree of thinning and your goals.

When the concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood are injected into the scalp, they help stimulate dormant hair follicles, reduce shedding, and improve the thickness and density of existing hair over time. They work best on follicles that are still alive but weakening, which is why early-to-moderate thinning responds better than fully bald areas. Most patients notice less hair fall first, followed by gradual improvement in density over the course of treatment at our Kannur clinic.

PRP and GFC are best suited to people with early-to-moderate thinning, including androgenetic (pattern) hair loss in both men and women, telogen effluvium, postpartum hair fall, and thinning linked to PCOS. They are not suitable for areas that are already fully bald, because there are no live follicles left to stimulate. Your dermatologist at Dr. Thaj Clinic in Kannur will assess your scalp and tell you honestly whether these treatments are likely to help you.

Most patients have a course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced about a month apart, followed by occasional maintenance sessions to hold the result. Because the treatment uses your own blood, it is autologous with minimal downtime — there may be slight tenderness or redness on the scalp for a short while, but most people return to their normal Kannur routine the same day. Your dermatologist will set a realistic schedule after assessing the cause and pattern of your hair loss.

Yes. Because both PRP and GFC use a preparation made from your own blood, the risk of allergy or rejection is very low, and there are no foreign chemicals or drugs involved. At Dr. Thaj Clinic in Kannur the blood is drawn, processed, and injected by a dermatologist-led team using sterile technique. As with any injection there can be brief tenderness or minor redness, which settles quickly. The dermatologist will review your medical history before starting to make sure the treatment is appropriate for you.
